  • Would it be worth it trying to play on Reboot?

    I started in Windia when I was in middle school, (I'm now in university), and remain in Windia as well. When Reboot was introduced, I progressed in there as well, maxed out the character slots, but still I never was able to quit Windia, so I would alternate between the two. Both mains are the same level and the legion board is also about the same. The only thing I would say is that finding a good guild in Reboot is tough because, well personally, a good portion of the reboot player base that are outspoken, are childish and immature in what they talk about, that's why I play Windia more now, but as far as progression, it'll take longer in reboot but once youre at the place you want to be it gets easier, except for character creations since there's no trading, you have to work your way up again should you ever want to try out new characters. If you want to try out Reboot, I can join you in the process, you can try it out with the burning event.


    p.s - in reboot, farming mesos takes quite some time as well. However, when you do make a character in reboot, as long as it is your first, they give you boxes with mesos and cubes/epic and maybe unique scrolls to use up to 150 I believe. but other than that farming takes patience, it's more you have to do in reboot basically.

    I'd still appreciate being in a world with a lower population, just not as low as it is now (in GRAZED, at least). I, for one, decided not to move during that last transfer because I didn't want to deal with a bunch of people...so if they merge servers, I hope they don't merge them all into Bera like some people here are suggesting.

    Also I'm seeing a bunch of numbers and percents being thrown around. Is there a concrete source for these or are people just pulling them out of the air.
    no actual source. They're made up. They didnt take into account the multiple accounts people make. And only partial stats can be gathered from steam users.

    No, do not say "all", that's totally wrong and I'll explain myself.

    When Storm has said "we all want a merge", of course he doesn't mean that every single player want it, but what he mean is "all" means, "most", (around 90% of players) want a merge! yes, 90%! (probably more than that)

    And what you said is wrong because you said "all" but what do you mean by "all"? who doesn't want merge??? it's maybe, just maybe, 5% of maplestory... (probably less than that).

    and it's funny to see that AKradian has "liked" your post, for some reason she always seem to be against the legit players (like me and the rest of us), it's like she's being the lawyer of Nexon, which is really absurd, and I hope she won't give me a "warning" or delete my post and act as if i "attacked", so let me tell you this, no I did not attack you and I'm not saying that to hurt you or anyone else but I'm just saying what is on my mind and trying to be as honest as possible and showing everyone the reality of MapleStory 2018.....

    Been saying this for months now too.. I've sent in tickets, live chatted with GMs, and made a number of threads about it on the forums. Windias way too dead as well, I only see the same people everyday.. i know i'l still play but i've seriously cut down how much i've been playing (im even getting the 2x exp buffs for not logging in for so many days at once lol) it is what it is. idk why they haven't reacted to the general consensus of how necessary a merge is. maybe because the bulk of gms players are in bera, and thus don't need a merge, making this issue not as well known since the only affected players are in the small populated servers. still though, they are screwing up big time with this lack of initiative. But there are plenty of other games with more stable populations. :)

    it's a known issue, it was brought up in the QnA session in november.

    The question is, not when it brought up but when they will actually take action and just do it !

    Oh, believe me brother, you are not the only one, many many people (including me) has been screaming about this problem.....
    And what did you say? "months"? I've been screaming for 2+ years now.... (recently, I gave up though...)

    I'm playing in Scania right now, and let me tell you this, it's a 100% ghost town, I can barely find maybe just a few 24/7 afkers who never ever move nor talk.

    I feel so lonely in Scania, so everytime I log on, I'm just walking around, looking for more people to chat and hang out with but.... the result is usually the same as everyday.... I log on, walk around for like 10min or so, finding nobody, log back off.....

    I don't know about you but I stopped trying to talk with Nexon about it, let's just face it, nothing really will ever change.... :(

    Basically the best solution is to merge all worlds into Bera (so we'd have 2 worlds, Bera and Reboot, some people (just a few people actually) would probably disagree with me but that's only the ones who can't see the reality as clear as us.

    The reality is that you can barely sell your stuff in Scania (and my friends in Bera told me that it's getting very very hard to sell their stuff in Bera as well)
    We all have to spam our need for the world merge...
    I am a scania player and I just dont know what to do now...
    It used to be full of life and community but now it's just dead.
    What happened to all scania players and please, nexon, merge the game into much less worlds as high amount of worlds was never been necessary!

    Listen to me brother, do not give up (sadly I already did... :(
    We must fight for our rights and MERGE all the worlds into Bera (so we'd have 2 worlds, Bera and Reboot)

    I'm in Scania and it's 100% dead.

    I dont agree with merging all reg server into bera, I think we need 3 reg servers total though, bera, merged server, low pop server.

    to appeal to those that like low population servers (there are people that constantly scream this whenever an Idea of merging all servers come up) and it would, at most , even out the current playerbase of reg servers across 3 servers while avoiding the big problems that reboot has with only having 1 server


    Three main worlds would be more probable, as the population may be more positively distributed amongst the three worlds, although, the players will have a choice which world to inhabit, so itll be the same as it is now.

    No, Gomenasai is totally right, all worlds should be merged into 1 (uninclude Reboot of course).

    I'm also playing in Scania, and jesus christ, this is so dead in here that I literally lost my mind and I'm tired of being alone all the time....
    And I bet everyone else feels exactly as I do.... or at least almost everyone.... it's only a few crazy ones who doesn't want to do merge worlds....
    Just look at the game....

    the merge isn't about the psychological aspect of loneliness vs the need to socialize. It's about stability of population and economics. 1 world would be way too crowded and everything will be worse in terms of prices, worse than before.

    Wrong again.

    The merge isn't about "psychological" and some illusion as you're trying to picture, but about the reality of where people can actually talk to each and make conversations, so yes it is for the need to socialize, becuase I'm dead tired of being 100% alone here in Scania.

    "Economy get worse"? what in the world are you talking about? do you even hear yourself? the more people we have in 1 world, the more prices will drop, economy will get so much better (especially if Nexon will decide to deal with hackers seriously), look at KMS, 1b is like 70$, while here it's barely 1$ per 1bil.....

    And yet you're talking about "yeah just merge into 3 worlds"?

    I will not visit the site for the next days so please do not reply me nor quote me at all (even if you will do that I will not read it, believe me)

    and YES! We ALL want Merge Worlds! merge Every single world into Bera! Make it Big, Make the Economy BIG! and Great again!
    Let's make MapleStory Great Again!

    Have a good one.
    No. Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs dictates socializing and belonging is a basic need, so you are agreeing that it is a psychological thing, the world merge. It's a bit hypocritical saying I'm wrong in pointing out that the world merge for people is a psychological need to socialize, but then say it is about socializing. An overpopulated server doesn't function, and under populated servers don't function. There has to be a balance. We can use Bera as an example from the recent world transfer, the result was overpopulation, with a large portion being botters/hackers. So, am I wrong that it is about socializing or not?
    And yes, economics is a big part of server population.

    You can't compare KMS with GMS, consumer behavior and spending trends is different than GMS players. Besides that, the factor in ratios is the amount of illicit sales of mesos, there's virtually none over seas.
